Kua takoto tōna tūāpapa. Ko ōna poupou nā ngā rauringa i whakatū, he mea hanga ki ngā rākau i ōhākītia ai e Tā Apirana. Whakairia ngā heke, riariakina tōna tāhuhu. Houhia te whare nei! He kupu whakataki — Introduction As editors we had the idea of creating a volume of this type for some time before it became a reality. Its scope is both academic and practical. Its academic relevance contributes to on- going academic discussions and debates on relevant topics in information communication technology (ICT), and its practical relevance links to the many challenges faced by iwi, institutes, societies and communities involved in ICT initiatives on a local and global scale. The primary purpose is to collate and bring together the vast experiences of an eclectic group of innovators, scholars, industry and technology leaders who share a passion for ICT. Representing a wide range of disciplines and personal experiences, this collection of chapters provide valuable insights into the wide range of ICT initiatives, including etools, emedia and elearning, which have been used extensively across Aotearoa to support the goals and aspirations of Māori, their communities and organisations for language, cultural, social and economic sustainability. In the spirit of using new technology, we have made this publication available free on-line so that individuals, hapū, iwi, institutes, societies and communities involved in ICT initiatives can gain access to the many insights contained within these pages. As a general guide, we asked that the contributors to this volume focus on an ICT initiative they have either worked with, developed, or implemented in their respective roles, paying particular attention to how that ICT initiative was applied in those contexts. We also asked them to consider some of its strengths, weaknesses and benefits, in addition to the area of mātauranga, tikanga or reo that it was applied to, as well as any other aspects of practice that it challenged, advanced, or explored. As the title of this volume suggests, He Whare Hangarau Māori — Language, culture & technology, covers three very broad areas arranged thematically covering 27 chapters. Each theme has an editor/ editors responsible for the collation, editing, and reviewing of each theme. In addition to introducing the respective authors, the theme editor/s have also provided a very brief introduction to the area of ICT in their section: • Māori language resources & Māori initiatives for teaching & learning te reo Māori Edited by Hineitimoana Greensill, Hōri Manuirirangi and Hēmi Whaanga, this ii Preface theme brings together some of the leading exponents in the development of Māori language resources and initiatives for the teaching and learning of te reo Māori. This theme includes chapters written by Te Taka Keegan (two pieces: one on Māori Language Interfaces and another on Machine translation for te reo Māori), Hōri Manuirirangi (A translation of Moodle into te reo Māori), Tania M. Ka‘ai (Te Whare Matihiko o Te Reo - digital tools for the revitalisation of te reo Māori), John C. Moorfield (Te Whanake and Te Aka digital resources), Dean P. S. Mahuta (Building virtual language communities through social media – because we don’t live the village life anymore), Wahineata Smith (Te Whanake animations: Development and implementation), and Karaitiana Taiuru (20 years of reflections using technology to compile Māori language dictionaries). • Iwi, institutes, societies & community led initiatives Edited by Hēmi Whaanga, Naomi Simmonds and Te Taka Keegan, this theme highlights the breadth of engagement in ICT. This theme includes chapters written by Māui Hudson, Tiriana Anderson, Te Kuru Dewes, Pou Temara, Hēmi Whaanga and Tom Roa (“He Matapihi ki te Mana Raraunga” - Conceptualising Big Data through a Māori lens), Hēmi Whaanga (He mahi māreikura: Reflections on digitising of the Pei Jones’ collection), Karaitiana Taiuru (Māori domains), Michael W.

This theme includes chapters written by Michelle Horwood (Going digital in the GLAM sector: ICT innovations & collaborations for taonga Māori), Michaela O’Donovan and Zoe Richardson (Navigating good practice image permissions for Māori collections held at Auckland War Memorial Museum - Tāmaki Paenga Hira), Wayne Ngata (Kanohi ki te kanohi: Face-to-face in digital space), Paul Diamond

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Me Haka I te Haka a Tānerore?: Māori 'Post-War' Culture and the Place of Haka in Commemoration at Gallipoli Abstract This article is an extensive discussion from a Maori perspective into issues around the use of Maori cultural terms, in particular haka, to commemorate the fallen in WWI. Embedded in the article are key theories of cultural memory, 'war culture' and 'post-war culture'. The research outlines the differences between European and Indigenous war and post war cultural practices focusing on Maori. It seeks to understand the reluctance of Turkish officials to see haka being performed when it was apparently banned from ceremonies in 2005. It outlines the media reporting on the issue and the subsequent reintroduction of haka in August 2015 at the centenary of the Chunuk Bair battle.

  • Teaching and Learning an Indigenous Language Through Its Narratives: Máori in Aotearoa/New Zealand
    JOHN C MOORFIELD Teaching and Learning an Indigenous Language Through its Narratives: Máori in Aotearoa/New Zealand INTRODUCTION 1 In a society which is based on oral tradition, the contribution of those individuals who are vested by their society with significant knowledge of, and stature in the culture, is vital in the propagation of knowledge. These individuals, referred to as ‘repositories’ play an important role in Aoteaoroa /New Zealand in the preservation of Máori as a living and taught language. One teaching method used widely in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the Te Whanake collection, while essentially a resource for teaching Máori as a second language to adults, also features narratives by well-known repositories of Máori knowledge across Aotearoa/New Zealand who saw the importance of the written word as a tool to aid in the survival of the Máori language, history and culture. Within the collection, the voices of these repositories echo the idiosyncrasies of the tribes to which they belong, thus providing a cross-sectional glimpse into various aspects of the Máori world. In the Máori world, people with a deep knowledge of their tribal culture, history and traditions and with fluency in the language are highly respected by their own tribe and Máori people in general. They are regarded as repositories of this knowledge, much of which will have been handed down from earlier generations. Prior to colonisation, this knowledge was transmitted from generation to generation by word of mouth. However, most modern Máori do not have the finely-honed memory necessary to maintain such an oral tradition because of changing traditions which de-emphasise the spoken transfer of cultural knowledge.
